Introduction
To begin analyze of small-signal AC response of BJT
amplifier the knowledge of modeling the transistor is
important.
The input signal will determine whether its a small signal
(AC) or large signal (DC) analysis.
The goal when modeling small-signal behavior is to make of
a transistor that work for small-signal enough to keep
things linear (i.e.: not distort too much) [3]
There are two models commonly used in the small signal
analysis:
a) re model
b) hybrid equivalent model

Introduction
Disadvantage
Re model
Fails to account the output impedance
level of device and feedback effect from
output to input
Conservation; output
power of a system
cannot be large than its
input and the efficiency
cannot be greater than 1
The input dc plays the
important role for the
amplification to
contribute its level to the
ac domain where the
conversion will become
as =Po(ac)/Pi(dc)

Transistor is replaced by
a single diode between E
& B, and control current
source between B & C
Collector current Ic is
controlled by the level of
emitter current Ie.
For the ac response the
diode can be replaced by
its equivalent ac
resistance.
15
The ac resistance
of a diode can be
determined by the
equation;

Where ID is the dc
current through
the diode at the
Q-point.

Input impedance is
relatively small and
output impedance
quite high.
